Editor's note: On Oct. 2, 2014, a Framingham court judge dismissed: one count of assault upon recommendation of the probation department; one count of trespassing upon recommendation of the probation department; one count of witness intimidation upon request of the commonwealth and defendant; two counts of vandalizing property upon request of the commonwealth and defendant; and one count of attempting to commit a crime upon request of the commonwealth and defendant.

SUDBURY – A Sudbury man is facing multiple charges after prosecutors say he vandalized and tried to enter his mother's home.

Justin A. Kieffer, 33, of 7 Snowberry Lane, threw a chair at a door and made other attempts to enter the home, in which he also lives, authorities said.

Officers responded to the home around 5:45 p.m. Monday after Kieffer's mother called police from inside the house saying he was trying to break into the home, according to a police report included in court documents.

Officers handcuffed Kieffer and found a door handle on the ground and other damage, including to a garage door, the report said.

Police noted in their report that Kieffer smelled slightly of alcohol.

He said to his mother "You got to be kidding me," as he was being arrested, leading to an intimidation of a witness charge, prosecutor Wendi Safran said at Kieffer's Framingham District Court arraignment Tuesday.

The mom told Kieffer last week he needed to go to an alcohol rehab program and cannot come home. He went to a detox program Thursday but checked himself out Sunday, according to the report.

Kieffer also faces assault, trespassing, attempting to commit a crime, disorderly conduct and three counts of vandalizing of property.

Not guilty pleas were entered on his behalf to all the charges, according to court documents.
